In some exciting news, the SANS Institute will be providing a 2-day workshop written by Ed Skoudis and instructed by ChicagoCon 2008s keynoter, James Shewmaker. Registration will be open soon, as final details are being completed. In the meantime, how does this sound?

"Cutting-Edge Hacking Techniques - Hands On" normally goes for $1795. At ChicagoCon, this same exact course will be offered for $1195. With our early registration discount of $200 before March 15, you'll get a SANS course for under a thousand dollars. Now that's an offer you're likely never to see again.

Stay tuned... we'll be sure to announce it right here when registration opens.

1. Another change of instructor/keynoter, but I have to say I'm quite pleased about this one as it feels like we're keeping it in the family. Matthew Carpenter, Intelguardian and author of the Skillz H@ck1ng Challenge, Serenity Hack, will now be taking the helm of this drastically discounted SANS Hacking Workshop.
